Used for about 2 months. Selling early because I have other favorite sho and the practice pipe has been changed. Feel free to ask any questions!! After June 11th: Will be relisted for 400,000 yen. Purchased at a workshop in Tenri Nikaido. (This is the work of someone who also supplies Tanaka-ya.) This is a genuine pipe that is rarely available now, and it is said that it takes more than six months to make one. The sho is said to represent a phoenix resting its wings, and this one is long and beautiful. This is a white bamboo genuine pipe with well-formed joints, and the head is small (suitable for women and those with small hands). Please refer to the photos for the overall length and head shape. The reeds are a little stiff, but the tone has no peculiarities (according to my teacher). There are no visible scratches. When it's time to replace the reeds, you can have a tuner adjust the inside to your liking. The original purchase price was 550,000 yen for the main body and 15,000 yen for the soft case. I am offering it at a significantly reduced price. The soft case will be wrapped in bubble wrap for shipping.
